My grandmother was born and raised in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico. She lived there her entire life until her passing. Although she passed away when I was a teenager, I remember her as if it were only yesterday. All the fond memories of her will forever be a part of my life.

You were blessed with your abuelita. She obviously has a special place in your heart.

I remember writing letters in Spanish to my abuelita Lucy in Rincon, Puerto Rico. I wanted her to know that I knew Spanish even though I was living and going to school in New York City. I remember her taking care of me when she came to visit NYC. When she died in the late 1990s, I remember writing her a letter too. This piece made me think of her. I, too, remember my abuelita fondly.
